How does the brain process visual information? Inaugural Chen Graduate Fellow and recent @Caltech grad, Dr. Yuelin Shi, has found new answers. Read about her research here caltech.edu/about/news/fixed…

Fixed or Flexible? Study Shows Vision-Related Neurons Can Rapidly Switch Codes

Researchers find that neurons in the visual cortex of the brain can flexibly extract different kinds of information from the same image, upending a fundamental paradigm in neuroscience
